Thomas Dodd | Surrealist photographer

The artwork that Thomas Dodd creates is visionary in scope and dualistic in nature.

Light and darkness, life and death, and beauty and horror exist side by side in his creations.

Mythological and religious themes abound in his work; sometimes with a twisted tongue-in-cheek approach, and at others reverently paying homage to the Old Master traditions that influence his vision.

Surreal world by Amandine Van Ray

Amandine Van Ray is an Estonia-based artist (from Tallinn) who creates Surreal artworks with the use of both photography and digital art. In her works, her subjects portray very expressive emotions as they are surrounded by a Surreal world filled with floating creatures and such.

Her impressive skills and boundless imaginations makes her mix of digital art and the subject's expressions an amazing masterpiece.

Each individual of her figures floats unnaturally through the air in a journey where darkness and isolation seem to be the dominating forces that drive each visual story.

Many of her surrealistic artworks are decored with amazing fish, which is extremely inspiring.
